FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PUBLIC RELATIONS WITH A FUNKY TWIST OF COMEDY
An online streaming radio show that tackles the impacts of PR on modern day conversations

WASHINGTON (May 15, 2013) – Two new faces have coupled public relations with comedy to produce The Launch Party. La the Power Publicist and Capitol T educate and entertain listeners on the impacts PR has on pop culture, business and current events. The show airs every Wednesday at 10 p.m. eastern on www.blis.fm at Studio 202 in Washington, DC.

Since the development of some reality shows, PR is even more largely perceived as the glitz and glamour lifestyle that surrounds popular television shows such as The Spin Crowd and The City. However, this duo cashes in on those perceptions with a few reality checks of their own. With interviews from publicists, managers, agents and their own experiences they tell it all.

Through their IPR Report segment La and Capitol T confront the good, the bad and the ugly of the latest industry trends, fads and hot topics that have featured upcoming musical artists: Bridget Kelly, Kid Ink and Tamar Braxton. Additionally, their new developing segment The Blind Side of PR discusses the unwritten rules of the industry with a group of PR panelists. The panel will also focus on each publicist’s particular area of interest including: fashion, music, politics, lifestyle, sports and others.

Since its initial debut in August 2012 the show has generated nearly 15,000 podcast downloads which the two contribute to their personality balancing act. Throughout the show, La – the overly sassy and soft spoken publicist asks the thought-provoking questions while her counterpart entertains through witty responses and a pound of political incorrectness.
